Gun violence debate; Baldwin is heavenly (Press-Register Sound Off)

-- As far as a national organization rating Alabama as a bad place to retire, that is a good thing. We don’t want the Yankees to come here, because as soon as they move in, they think we need to change to what they came from. So I’m glad about this rating; it’ll keep the Yankees out.

Arm the good guys

-- About the caller with crazies with arms, maybe if more good citizens would carry guns, they might’ve been able to stop him before he done any harm or killed anybody. There are more good citizens than crazies.

Blood on their hands

-- Once more the NRA lobbyists for gun manufacturers, and their bought-and-paid-for Congress, have blood on their hands.

Who need assault rifles?

-- An assault rifle? Honestly, an assault rifle with all these rounds? That doesn’t sound like anything that should be sold to the public. That belongs to the police, not people walking the street. Why are these type of guns allowed to be sold?

The law is for everyone

-- No, the mayor of Mobile cannot pull out a handgun on somebody and it be right unless he is properly licensed. He should follow the same laws we do, and suffer the same penalties we do.

Union ruination

-- I just read in the auto section in your Saturday newspaper, that labor costs for Ford union workers, it was $79 dollars an hour. Is this what union workers have in store for Airbus? We can’t afford that. Say no to unions.

Almost heaven ... Baldwin County

-- I live in Baldwin County and it is one of the most beautiful places on earth. I’ve lived in other places as well, California, Hawaii and Montana. Our little hideout on Perdido Bay is just a little slice of heaven. So maybe I am living in a dream.

Do it now, Mitt

-- Why isn’t Mitt Romney releasing his tax forms? Just get it over with. Obama had to release his birth certificate. And I see where Romney called for Kennedy to release his tax info in 2004. It might hurt you politically, but you can’t do it closer to the election. Get it over with, then focus on the economy.

How do taxes create jobs?

-- I would like an answer to this question: How do you create jobs by raising taxes? Would a professional with a brain on his shoulder answer that for me. I believe you can’t create jobs by raising taxes.

Get a life

-- To the person who had a remark for the Vigor coaches that were in Tuscaloosa: Get a life. There is such a thing called relaxation, there is nothing wrong with them being in a bar. Get a life.

Women aren’t safe

-- My comment is about the Air Force instructors found guilty of raping recruits. Women in this world are not safe. When you rape women, you are out there doing wrong towards women. Don’t you have a mother, maybe sisters, wives and daughters?

Lights on when raining

-- People are not turning their lights on in the rain. I just left Moffett Road, went down Cody Road, and all the way to Airport Boulevard, I counted 31 cars in the pouring down rain that didn’t have their lights on. That really is dangerous.

Can’t wait to vote

-- With the governor and Republicans balancing the budget on the backs of teachers and public employees, I can’t wait for election time. I’m going to balance my budget at the expense of the governor and the Republican Party.
